I rise today in order to commemorate the extraordinary story and mission of one of my neighbors and her family in North Carolina, someone by the name of Olivia Wooten. Olivia is currently suffering mightily in a battle with ALS. I have watched in admiration as she has remained a constant source of robust encouragement and joy despite her debilitating illness. Her circumstances have only brightened because of the eternal hope that she has in the Lord, her Savior, Jesus Christ. I spoke to Olivia earlier today, who fearlessly and joyfully awaits entry into eternal life, where `` . . . there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain. . . . `' as stated in Revelation 21:4. She helped me draft these remarks knowing that they would be heard by all today.
